Clearly well thought out and with sensibly defined goals it's much more likely you'll play out to a conclusion which is hard to achieve with campaigns I always find.<br /><br />From my understanding of the period your assumptions are pretty sound and should provide a good reflection of the difference between the protagonists in game terms.<br /><br />Really looking forward to seeing this unfold. I suspect I will be pinching your thoughts for a future campaign of my own!Millsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580692168847505881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-12572986574658903632017-05-27T23:54:01.166+10:002017-05-27T23:54:01.166+10:00Very well thought out, I will follow with interest...Very well thought out, I will follow with interest.

The OHW scenarios are for units on 4-6" frontages on a 3' square board, so I work at roughly half scale.<br /><br />I agree about village names; the ones in Midsomer are quite typical of some areas.Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-75730888938532581762017-05-27T22:08:59.618+10:002017-05-27T22:08:59.618+10:00Love the map.

My favourite was Mousley End, to which (as my mother put it) there must be a tale attached.<br /><br />I also love your paper armies setup. Why bother painting figures, a little voice is whispering in my ear. Definitely going to give it a go. One question, though: how big a board (battlefield) do you use with your modified OHW rules?<br /><br />StephenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672159867030960176noreply@blogger.com
